Derby County have signed Burton Albion defender Jake Buxton on an initial one-year contract, with an option for a further 12 months.

The 24-year-old centre-back has just helped the Brewers gain promotion to the Football League for the first time in their history, but has opted to try his luck at Pride Park with former Albion boss Nigel Clough.

Clough told the club's official website: "He will come in hoping to take his chance and give it a good go.

"Jake's attitude is first-class and we hope he will surprise a few people. He is one of those lads who will put his body on the line and throw himself at absolutely everything.

"Jake does not have the experience at this level, but he will make up for that with the desire and heart he has."
